Enfield Town Public Works is the town's spot for dropping off residential trash and routine bulk items. Locals use it for household disposal and neighborhood cleanups, not for commercial dumping. Expect a municipal, working-yard feel rather than anything fancy.
Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to slow down; many Connecticut transfer stations use a scale and charge by weight, so stopping again on the way out is common. The site is a mix of concrete bays, roll-off containers and open areas with piles of materials; follow the flow of traffic and signs to the appropriate drop-off point. Recycling bins are often clustered near the main entrance road while bulk or brush piles sit farther back. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so there can be a line with idling trucks and pickups waiting their turn.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have any required town sticker or permit ready and visible-many towns in Connecticut require one for transfer station use.
- Load items so they can be offloaded without unpacking the truck; staff won’t usually do heavy lifting for you.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; arriving midweek or late morning on a weekday usually means less waiting.
